CLOTHES-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 15, 19(l9. Serial No. 528,251.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL GREENBERG,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Fort Washington, in the county of Prince George and State of Maryland, have invented new and useful Improvements inClothes- Hangers, of which the following is a specilication.

This invention relates to clothes hangers, and has for an object to provide a device of this character that can be formed chiefly of wire, whereby the cost of the article will be materially reduced.

Another object of the invention is to provide a clothes hanger with a plurality of' pivotally connected members, said members pivotally supporting the foldable arms of the clothes hanger.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent as the nature of the invention is better disclosed, and it will be understoodthat changes within the scope of the claimscan be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

1n the drawings formmg a portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of end of the shank is pivoted in the eye 1 of'a member 5, said member being formed from twisted wire and provided at its lower extremity with an eye (3, which alines with similar eyes 7 at the inner ends of arms 8.

The arms 8 form companion members of a coat hanger, and, as illustrated, their eyes receive, together with the eye 6 of the member 5, a pivoted pin 9 whereby the arms of the coat hanger may be folded against each other. The eye 4 of the member 5 receives eye portions 10 at the inner ends of horizontally disposed supports 11, each being formed from a single piece of twisted wire, each of which having one extremity bent to form a trousers supporting rack 12, the other extremity being bent downwardly and supports are formed in alinement with'the Patented Jan. 18, 1910.

formed into an eye 13. Theeyes 13 of the corresponding eyes 14: of arms 15, said alin-. j j

ingley'e's receiving pivot fpins lo. The arms 15 form companion members of coat supports. which are similar in construction wlth the first described coat support.

The shank l is formed,intermediate; of its ends with an eye 17 which receives eyes 18 of sectional brace members 19, the outer ends of said brace members being pivotally connected to the outer ends of the supports 11. The shank 1 has secured thereto a member 20 whose extremities are bent to form hat hooks 21.

herein described and shown is extremely simple andinexpensive, and when in use, it will accommodate numerous articles of apparel. 7

It will be seen thatthe coat hangers when in their" unfolded position are disposed in parallel relation to each other, the said hangers being preferably located at equal distances apart, whereby, the weight of the coats supported by the hangers will be equally distributed.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new, is

1; A clothes hanger comprising a shank having a supporting hook at one end, a pluv The construction of the clothes support ralityof horizontally disposed pivoted sup-.

ports carried by the shank, a depending member located between the supports and pivotally connected with the said shank, piv

oted arms carried by the said depending memben andapivoted arms carried by tlie said supports.

2A clothes hanger comprising a shank having a supporting hook at one end, horizontally-disposed pivoted supports carried by the shank, sectional braces connecting the su ports with the shank, coat hangers carried by the said supports, each end comprising a pair of pivoted companion arms which are adapted to be folded againsteach other, and trouser hangers, located immedi= ately beneath said supports.

In testimony whereof I afiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
